SVCD trouble

ok. Over the years I have created a few SVCDs. Now I have a DVD burner I
wanted to put a collection of SVCD onto DVD with nice little menus and
stuff.

I did a 20 minute SVCD to my authoring program no problem at all but I have
another SVCD disc that I can't copy the video file off because it can't read
the file at about 50%. The funny thing is I can play the SVCD completely
through without a glitch in my DVD burner and my DVD rom and also my
stand-alone DVD player. I imaged the disc thinking that would give me
better results and it images fine. No errors. But I still can't copy the
video file off it. If I try to de-muliplex the video striaght off the CD
or the image of the CD then it quits at about 50% and I get the first half
of the video fine and not the second half.

So does anyone have an idea how I can get this video off the SVCD so I can
de-muliplex it, even if it glitches over the "bad" bit it would be fine as
long as the "bad" bit is not too long and will not interfer with playing on
a standalone DVD player.

As a last resort, you could re capture it through line in off the svcd

I am almost at that point. pain in the arse. found I have more problems.
Some of the files I thought I had. copied fine off cd but when
demultiplexing it cuts out at random. using tmpeng to do the splitting.
just trying dvdlab but that doesn't seem to be doing any better. Some files
work fine. Some don't. There doesn't seem to be any logic behind it. even
the files that copy fine off the cds don't work.

Just found out something really funny. too. I haven't used my video capture
card for a couple of months and just loaded the software and it can't find
the capture card!!! Something is telling me I shouldn't be trying to do
this. Maybe I should get a job at a software company cause once I create a
disc then it will never be copied. End of piracy forever.

There is a program called Isobuster out there that can read a CDR and
copy the files back to your hard disk.

Cheers. I kinda got it working but having far too much trouble with
transcoding to the correct format. One disc will work and then the next
won't. It is very hit and miss.

So I am thinking of just hooking my standalone dvd recorder up to my PC and
record the files that way. But before I do that is there a way to use my
internal DVD writer like a standalone one. ie. play a video file and
recorder directly onto the DVD?
